Import Tips
• Conduct desizing boil test per US notes before yarn count calculation to ensure accurate 'number' measurement
• Label rolls with exact g/m² and yarn specs; mismatches lead to audits and potential 5208.19 classification
• For certified hand-loomed versions, obtain government certification to qualify under special provisions if applicable
